Growing: Plant peppers in compost-rich, well-drained soil. Pre-heat planting beds by covering with black polyethylene sheeting 1 week before transplanting. Move seedlings to a sheltered place outside to “harden off” 1 week before transplanting. Space plants in garden 18” (45 cm) apart; rows should be 24” (61 cm) apart. Keep the soil just moist throughout the growing season–watering deeply as the season progresses.

Harvesting: Peppers can be harvested green–even red, orange, and yellow varieties. For full flavor allow fruits to ripen to maturity and full color. Note days to maturity on your calendar when you set out transplants.

Sweeter than most peppers, this one changes from green to a rich chocolate brown.

It has a four-lobed bell shape, and is delicious when cooked or used fresh. An early variety, it's ready in only 67 days.
